For something so good for the economy, that everyone needs and wants, weird that Obama keeps unilaterally delaying it. Maybe that’s because it’s harming the economy and is a complete FUBAR? Yeah, that may be it…

Why Congress allows this guy to keep changing legislation in his unconstitutional, likely illegal, fashion is beyond me.

Here’s the background and my favorite tweets in response 🙂

Delayed: Obamacare’s employer mandate for small businesses

The federal government Monday announced yet another delay in Obamacare’s rules. It will now exempt companies employing between 50 and 100 full-time workers from complying with the mandate to offer employees affordable health insurance by another year, until 2016.

Companies that have 100 or more full-time workers, defined as employees who work more than 30 hours per week, will have to begin complying with the mandate to offer such coverage in 2015 or face financial penalties of up to $3,000 per worker.

Officials Monday said that the delay in the Obamacare mandate will affect 50 percent of the businesses that were supposed to be complying by 2015. Those officials could not answer how many workers would be affected by the delay.

    Not so fast – DC Circuit Court of Appeals, 2/11/14.

    DC Circuit CoA unamimously ruled that, “The IRS may not unilaterally expand its authority through such an expansive, atextual, and ahistorical reading of” [the law]….“In light of the text, history, structure, and context of the statute,” judge Brett Kavanaugh wrote, “it becomes apparent that the IRS never before adopted its current interpretation for a reason: It is incorrect.”…

    In 2009, Obama hired former H&R Block CEO (Ernst) as deputy IRS Commissioner. To avoid ethics laws preventing commissioners from ruling on issues that could benefit previous employers, Obama hired Ernst as civil service employee not political appointee (I’ve never heard of this before. Commissioners and deputy Cs. have always been political appointees.) Ernst helped IRS reinterpret a 125 year old law such that tax preparers now had to be approved by IRS, which would drive Mom & Pop tax preparers out of business.
